What Led to the Launch of Oat Canada?
Eloise and Jamari Ambursley, the founders and co-founders of Oat Canada have always been fans of healthy eating and love to maintain an active lifestyle. Oat Canada was founded on a few good habits since they believe that adopting one good habit has ripple effects that affect other areas of people’s lives.
When Eloise and Jamari got married, they got into the simple habit of saving 25% or more of their monthly income. By the end of the year, they had reduced their annual revenue by more than 50%. They started preparing more meals at home, exercising every day, and carefully checking the nutrition facts label. As they optimize their lives little by little, they become more aware of how they think about their health and their relationship to the planet. This has led to the choice of reducing sugar intake as consistently as possible and including more plant-based protein in the diet. This is how they got to know oat milk.
When Eloise discovered oat milk, it worked well for Jamari in spite of being lactose intolerant and Eloise was allergic to nuts. It even worked extremely great for Eloise’s mother and Jamari’e grandmother who were diabetic. Since then, oat milk has turned out to be a staple food for them and their families.
